Ravens vs. Giants injury report: Two steps forward, one step back on Thursday

The Baltimore Ravens got several players back at practice Thursday but those that were still out on the injury report are concerning.

I won’t quite go as far as to say the Baltimore Ravens are getting a little healthier as Week 16 marches on but they did get several players back at practice. A day after having nine players held out of practice with injuries on Wednesday, only three were out with injuries on Thursday.

Unfortunately, that’s about where the silver lining ends. Cornerbacks Jimmy Smith and Marcus Peters once again missed practice Thursday, while also missing last week’s game with the same ailments. At this point, it doesn’t look good for either to play Sunday.

In addition to those two, wide receiver Marquise Brown was added to the injury report, missing Thursday’s practice with a knee injury. Though Dez Bryant returned in a limited capacity after missing practice Wednesday, the Ravens’ wide receiver corps isn’t exactly teeming with excess talent. If neither play this week, missing two major contributors in the passing game is going to sting a little bit.

Take a look at both the Ravens’ and New York Giants’ injury reports for Thursday.

Ravens vs. Giants injury report: Baltimore shorthanded with 9 out Wednesday

The Baltimore Ravens’ injury report is full this week as the defense once again has key players missing practice Wednesday.

The Baltimore Ravens have officially cleared their Reserve/COVID-19 list of players, ending an outbreak that began a month ago. Unfortunately, Baltimore is staring down quite a lengthy injury report in Week 16 as the wear and tear on the players’ bodies is beginning to get the better of them.

The Ravens were missing nine players from practice, while fullback Patrick Ricard was limited. Once again this week, the defense is the most injured side of the ball. Calais Campbell, Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith are still dealing with injuries they’ve had since last week or earlier, while Pernell McPhee is a new addition to the list. In addition, wide receiver Dez Bryant is dealing with a thigh injury after scoring his first touchdown reception in over three years last week.

Baltimore will be up against the New York Giants this week. And while New York is 5-9, they are getting healthy and have looked far better than their record at times this season. Just like last week, it’s fair to wonder if the sheer number of injuries the Ravens are dealing with will give them a loss and big setback in the AFC playoff picture.

Ravens vs. Jaguars injury report: Who’s playing and who isn’t in Week 15

The Baltimore Ravens will be without CB Jimmy Smith but have a beat-up secondary behind him as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars

The Baltimore Ravens are about as beat up as they can get in the secondary. After placing a total of five cornerbacks on injured reserve this season, Baltimore’s injury report for Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars isn’t very pretty.

By Friday, the Ravens have seen six defensive backs miss either some or all of practice, including ruling Jimmy Smith out for Sunday’s game. Even beyond Smith already being ruled out, having five other defensive backs dealing with nagging injuries isn’t a great sign for this game. Granted, it came against a solid Cleveland Browns offense, but Baltimore’s secondary was clearly their weak spot in recent weeks, largely in part to the injuries they’ve sustained there.

While the Jaguars aren’t the most challenging opponent at 1-12 this season, they do have quite a bit of talent on offense that has been held back by inconsistent quarterback play. But as the Ravens have experienced before, guys get hot at the right time and with talented wide receivers and tight ends to target, Baltimore’s secondary can’t afford sloppy play once again.

Take a look at which players are already ruled out and which ones are merely questionable for Week 15 for both the Jaguars and Ravens.

Ravens vs. Jaguars injury report: Injuries piling up Thursday

The Baltimore Ravens saw their injury report continue to grow Thursday as key defensive injuries are piling up ahead of Week 15 vs. Jaguars.

The Baltimore Ravens won what was a must-win game on Monday night against the Cleveland Browns. However, in doing so, the Ravens came out a little worse for wear and are a little thin heading into Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The discussion over the last few weeks was simply getting key players like quarterback Lamar Jackson back from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. But with nearly everyone back on Monday, the injuries picked right back up where they left off. This week, several major contributors have been sidelined at practice with various ailments.

On Thursday, the list continued to grow, seeing defensive end Derek Wolfe out with a neck/back injury and seeing defensive back Anthony Levine go from limited Wednesday to not practicing at all. Wolfe has been outstanding this season, especially against the run. Levine, while more of a special teams player at this point in his career, is still a reserve cornerback for the team, which has sadly been needed more the last two weeks as other cornerbacks have gone down with injuries.

Take a look at Thursday’s injury report for both the Ravens and Jaguars.

Ravens place QB Trace McSorley on injured reserve

The Baltimore Ravens put QB Trace McSorley on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury Monday against the Cleveland Browns in Week 14.

The Baltimore Ravens have been hit hard by injuries and an outbreak of COVID-19 this season. Once again, it’s time for the next man up as the Ravens place quarterback Trace McSorley on injured reserve Tuesday, according to the team’s Twitter account.

McSorley suffered a sprained knee in Monday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Playing for starter Lamar Jackson, who was in the locker room for treatment of cramps, McSorley was sacked after his right leg slipped on the turf and his left leg bent awkwardly underneath him. Jackson would come back the very next play, throwing a 44-yard touchdown to Marquise Brown to reclaim the lead and eventually lead Baltimore to victory.

The injury was expected to make him week-to-week, according to Pelissero, making the move to injured reserve a little shocking. But with just three games remaining, there might not have been enough time for McSorley to return in the regular season. Under the 2020 rules, players have to be on injured reserve for a minimum of three weeks but are eligible to return after that. That would put a potential return for McSorley in the playoffs if the Ravens get that far.

With Robert Griffin III also on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, Baltimore has Jackson and UDFA Tyler Huntley as the only two quarterbacks remaining on the team. While Huntley played well in training camp, he hasn’t seen a single snap of action this season as he’s been on the practice squad. With such limited time remaining this season to find a player, wait for them to clear COVID-19 protocols, and then learn the offense; the Ravens might just be forced to finish the season out with Jackson and Huntley as their only two quarterbacks.

Jimmy Smith questionable to return with shoulder injury

The Baltimore Ravens were already thin at cornerback and got even thinner with Jimmy Smith questionable to return with a shoulder injury

The Baltimore Ravens entered the game thin at cornerback with Tramon Williams injured and not having Anthony Averett active. It was a big gamble, especially against a Cleveland Browns offense that can strike quickly through the air. And unfortunately, it’s one that has already come back to haunt the Ravens, as cornerback Jimmy Smith is questionable to return with a shoulder injury, according to the team’s Twitter account.

Smith had been battling injuries all season long but has regularly been on the field and played great football this season. Once again this week, Smith was on the injury report each day with a going injury. But Smith must have suffered the shoulder injury in the third quarter, not coming out onto the field for a drive before being his status was updated.

Ravens vs. Cowboys inactives: Calais Campbell, Jimmy Smith playing

The Baltimore Ravens have been healing up, both from some nagging injuries and the COVID-19 outbreak they had the last few weeks. But several major contributors were seen on the injury report this week, leaving doubt as to if the Ravens would be at …

However, with the list of inactive players just before kickoff, some of those concerns have been assuaged. Defensive end Calais Campbell an cornerback Jimmy Smith are active for tonight’s game, giving Baltimore two impact players to battle against Cleveland’s tough offense. While Campbell and Smith might not play a ton this week as they continue to heal up, having them on the field for critical situations could be the difference in winning and losing.

Take a look at the inactive list for both the Ravens and Browns in Week 14.

Ravens vs. Browns injury report: Calais Campbell still out Friday

Take a look at which Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns players were missing from practice on Friday.

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for the Cleveland Browns in what is as close to a must-win game as possible in Week 14. While Baltimore has seen almost all of their players return from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, some are still dealing with injuries that could potentially sideline them for this game regardless.

Cornerback Jimmy Smith returned to practice Friday, a good sign that he’s on the mend and could potentially play. However, it’s defensive end Calais Campbell that is becoming a bit of a concern. Campbell had sat out Thursday’s practice, seemingly given a veteran’s day off as is normal for this time of the year. But Campbell missed Friday’s practice as well with a calf injury designation.

Campbell returned from the Reserve/COVID-19 list to play against the Dallas Cowboys last week but clearly was not his usual self. At one point of the game, Campbell was spotted limping a bit and looked to be hindered by an injury. If Campbell is unable to go this week, that would put far more pressure on players like Yannick Ngakoue, Brandon Williams, and Matthew Judon to stop Browns running back Nick Chubb on top of trying to get into quarterback Baker Mayfield’s face.

Take a look at Friday’s injury report for both the Ravens and Browns:

Ravens vs. Browns injury report: Secondary depth getting thinner by the week

The Baltimore Ravens have eight players sidelined Thursday with injuries as they prepare for the Cleveland Browns in Week 14

The Baltimore Ravens’ schedule is beginning to get back to normal. After a Wednesday afternoon game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 and a Tuesday night game against the Dallas Cowboys for Week 13, the Ravens return to a night when football is typically played to face the Cleveland Browns. But while they’ve returned to a normal practice schedule and have seen a bunch of players come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list, Baltimore still might not be at full strength this week.

The Ravens have activated tight end Mark Andrews, wide receiver Willie Snead, and outside linebacker Matthew Judon since they played the Cowboys on Tuesday, joining the likes of quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back J.K. Dobbins, and defensive end Calais Campbell. But with nagging injuries still haunting this team, Baltimore saw eight players not practicing on Thursday — the first day of practice for the Ravens this week. That includes cornerbacks Tramon Williams and Jimmy Smith, further limiting the depth at the position.

Take a look below to see the injury report for both the Ravens and Browns.

Ravens vs. Cowboys inactives: CBs Jimmy Smith, Tramon Williams out

The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys will be missing some players in Week 13, seeing a few names on the inactive list pre-game.

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Dallas Cowboys tonight, with much of their roster back from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. While it’s not everyone and those that have returned aren’t a lock to play much, if at all, tonight, a lot of the anxiety has been washed away.

The Ravens placed a total of 23 players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list between Nov. 23 and Dec. 2 when they played the Pittsburgh Steelers. That included star players like quarterback Lamar Jackson, defensive end Calais Campbell, and tight end Mark Andrews. Baltimore now only has six players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, seeing a near return to normal for the banged-up and ailing Ravens.

But with injuries to cornerbacks Jimmy Smith and Tramon Williams, the Ravens will be a little light in the secondary, needing to rely on the likes of Pierre Desir and Anthony Averett to fill the voids.
